# Jellyfin logs

Starting with version 4.7.0, you can use the `jellyfin()` source to read [Jellyfin](<https://jellyfin.org/>) logs from its log file output.

Example minimal configuration:
```
 
    source s_jellyfin {
        jellyfin(
        base-dir("/path/to/my/jellyfin/root/log/dir")
        filename-pattern("log_*.log")
        );
    };
    
```

For more details about Jellyfin logging, see:

  * <https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/configuration/#main-configuration>
  * <https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/configuration/#log-directory>



As the `jellyfin()` source is based on the [`wildcard-file()` source](../../docs/axosyslog-core/chapter-sources/configuring-sources-wildcard-file/index.md), you can use the [`wildcard-file()` source options](../../docs/axosyslog-core/chapter-sources/configuring-sources-wildcard-file/reference-source-wildcard-file/index.md).

This driver is actually a reusable configuration snippet. For details on using or writing such configuration snippets, see [Reusing configuration blocks](../../docs/axosyslog-core/chapter-configuration-file/large-configs/config-blocks/index.md). You can find the source of this configuration snippet on [GitHub](<https://github.com/axoflow/axosyslog/blob/master/scl/jellyfin/jellyfin.conf>).
